I haven't read Ann's book and I cannot comment on the history here. However, Dorothy Rabinowitz is one of the finest journalists alive today. i read every column and she does exhaustive research and is very conservative...but honest.
Before people throw out words like liberal, scumbag, moron, etc. they need to have a better grasp of Dorothy's talents.
As conservatives, we should appreciate the truth. Dorothy Rabinowitz is a very composed, excellent writer and investigator. Take her concerns with some credence. She is at the same level as Peggy Noonan and others.

She should have read the entire book before she wrote her article.
After you read the book, re-read the article and you'll see why we are "disappointed" in Dorothy. She certainly doesn't come up to the standard of Peggy Noonan and others.

Peggy isn't always correct either. No one is and Dorothy is dead wrong, in this piece ! Her vituperation is palpable and without much cause. Most people don't actually know all that much about McCarthy, the truth about all of the Commies and fellow travellers in the USA government, or even what's in the Venona Papers. How many people, on this site, were even adults, when all of this stuff was happening ? How many were children, who were NOT exposed to any of it ? How many weren't even born then ? How many still believe all/some of the leftist propaganda about it ?
If Colture's book can open just a few eyes and/or get some people to begin thinking about even a small portion of this historical happenstance, then she's done a GREAT job; unlike this bomb throwqing, smarmy piece by Dorothy.
